LIGHT TO LIGHT LOVE IN ACTION
Addiction can feel like a wall you can’t climb, but the first step is simpler than you think: admit you’re struggling. Say it out loud, even just to yourself: “I’m not okay, and that’s okay.” It’s not about fixing everything right now—it’s about being honest. You don’t need all the answers; you just need to start. Think of one person you trust—a friend who listens, a parent who cares, or even a stranger on a helpline like SAMHSA at 1-800-662-4357. Tell them, “I’m having a hard time.” That’s it. No big plan, no shame—just truth. In Will County, you could call the Illinois Helpline at 1-833-234-6343; they’re there 24/7. It might feel weak to speak up, but it’s the opposite: it’s the bravest thing you’ll do today. I’ve seen people take this step—my own loved one did, years ago, shaking as he dialed a number. Now he’s over 5+ years clean. You don’t have to see the whole road ahead; one word, one call, one moment shifts the weight. You’re not alone in this, even if it feels that way. Addiction wants you silent, but your voice breaks its grip. Try it today—whisper it if you have to. You’ve got more strength than you know.
